Batakhela tindzawo letiphakeme tekukhonta tithico, netinsikamatje tato lekwakutsiwa tingcwele kanye netinsika ta-Ashera eticongweni tato tonkhe tintsaba letiphakeme nangaphansi kwato tonkhe tihlahla letendlala emagala ato.
Jeremiya 3:6 - Siswati 1996 Bible Ngesikhatsi kusabusa inkhosi Josaya, Simakadze wakhuluma kimi, watsi: “Ukubonile yini lokwentiwe ngu-Israyeli longaketsembeki? “Wenyukele etulu kuwo onkhe emagcuma laphakeme, waya nangaphansi kwato tonkhe tihlahla letendlala emagala ato, waphingela khona lapho. |
Batakhela tindzawo letiphakeme tekukhonta tithico, netinsikamatje tato lekwakutsiwa tingcwele kanye netinsika ta-Ashera eticongweni tato tonkhe tintsaba letiphakeme nangaphansi kwato tonkhe tihlahla letendlala emagala ato.
Josaya abeneminyaka lesiphohlongo budzala, nakabekwa kuba yinkhosi. Wabusela eJerusalema iminyaka lengema-31.
Batingcolisa ngetintfo lababetenta, bangete betsembeka kuNkulunkulu, bafana netiphingi.
“Kodvwa nine, wotani la, nine madvodzana esangoma lesisikati, nine ntalo yetiphingi neyetingwababane!
Wendlale umbhedze wakho etulu etintsabeni letiphakeme, wase wenyukela khona kuyawushisa imihlatjelo.
Livi laSimakadze lefika kuye emnyakeni weli-13 wekubusa kwaJosaya, umsa wa-Amoni, inkhosi yakaJuda;
Babuyela etonweni tabokhokho babo, labala kulalela emavi ami. Balandzele labanye bonkulunkulu, bakhonta bona. Indlu yaka-Israyeli nendlu yakaJuda, totimbili tisephulile sivumelwane lengasenta nabokhokho bato.
Ngisho nebantfwababo bakhumbula emalati abo netinsika tabo-Ashera, eceleni kwetihlahla letendlala emagala ato, nasemagcumeni laphakeme,
Ngamnika Israyeli longaketsembeki sitifiketi sesehlukaniso, ngamcosha ngenca yako konkhe loko kuphinga kwakhe. Noko ngakubona loko kungetsembeki kwadzadzewabo longuJuda kutsi akesabi; naye waphindze waphuma wayawuphinga.
Uyawuzulazula kuze kube ngunini, awu, ndvodzakati lengaketsembeki? Simakadze uyawudala intfo lensha emhlabeni, umfati uyakuyivikela indvodza.”
Indlu yaka-Israyeli nendlu yakaJuda betingaketsembeki nakancane nje kimi,” kusho Simakadze.
Kodvwa abazange balalele, futsi abanakanga nekunaka; esikhundleni saloko balandzela kutsambekela kwenkhani yetinhlitiyo tabo letimbi. Babuyela emuva, bangete baya embili.
Ngesikhatsi wakha tibundvuma ekucaleni kwato tonkhe titaladi, wenta tindzawo takho letiphakeme tekukhontela tithico kuto tonkhe tinkhundla, wawungafanani nengwababane, ngobe wawukubukela phansi kubhadalwa.
Nangibafikisa eveni lengafunga kutsi ngitalinika bona, benelela kufika kulo, babona tonkhe tintsaba letiphakeme netihlahla letimacembe ato avoshokile, base besuka banikelela khona imihlatjelo yabo, benta iminikelo leyangicunula mine ngase ngiyatfukutsela, betfula imphepho yabo letsaphukako, batfulula iminikelo yabo yetinatfo.
“Dzadzewabo Oholibha wakubona loku, noko yena ekukhanukeni nasekugwadleni kwakhe abengembili kakhulu kunalodzadzewabo.
Libito lalendzala bekungu-Ohola, dzadzewabo kungu-Oholibha. Babe ngebami, base batala emadvodzana nemadvodzakati. Ohola yiSamariya, kantsi Oholibha yiJerusalema.
Bantfu bami batimisele kusuka kimi. Ngisho nome sebangambita Longetulu Kwako Konkhe, angeke abaphakamise ngisho nangayiphi indlela.
Banikela imihlatjelo eticongweni tetintsaba, bashise iminikelo emagcumeni, ngaphansi kwema-okhi, nangaphansi kwemabhabhabhulomu nematherebinte, lapho kunemtfunti lomnandzi khona. Ngako-ke emadvodzakati enu agucukela ebugwadleni, nabomalukatane benu baphinga.
Noko baka-Israyeli abazange batilalele tikhulu tabo, bachubeka baphinga nalabanye bonkulunkulu, bakhonta bona. Abazange babalingise boyise, bona bajika masinyane endleleni lababehamba ngayo boyise, indlela yekulalela imiyalo yaSimakadze.
